It's The Little Things

What does this verse have to do with a watermelon?

33 Wherefore, be not weary in well-doing, for ye are laying the foundation of a great work. And out of small things proceedeth that which is great.
Doctrine & Covenants 64:33

What are some seemingly “small things” people have done that made a big different for you?  I asked my class that question and they listed things like:

  • Someone saying hello
  • A random text or phone call letting you know you are in someone’s thoughts
  • A hug
  • A sincere compliment
  • A "How are you doing?"
  • A smile
  • Loving concern

Sometimes the smallest action can turn someone’s day around. It is like how one watermelon seed, planted at the right time and conditions, can produce a wonderful amount of good fruit.  So keep doing those small things. 

Today’s Takeaway: Think about this list, How can you do one of these small things that could bless someone’s life.  How ccan you let someone know they matter?  Here is a challenge: in the next 24 hours do one of these small things to some unsuspecting person.  You might be surprised what a big difference a small thing can make.
